RetroForth 6.23                                       http://www.retroforth.org
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Section 1: What's New
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a stable release adding support for defining immediate words. It 
removes the version number output from all ports, reducing the editing 
needed for each release. libretro has been removed since it does not 
work yet; it will be added to the release after it is operational. A 
manual (RetroForth_Manual.nbk) in Notebook 2.0 format is now included. 
Finally, the opt/ subdirectory has been removed.


Section 2: Building the images
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As normal, gunzip and detar the source package.

     bash# tar xzf retroforth-6.23.tar.gz

Then enter the directory and type 'make'

     bash# cd retroforth
     bash# make

Check ERRORLOG to see if any problems were encountered during the
build. The "clean" function is now invoked at the end of each build cycle.


Section 3: Notes, comments, bugs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You must have NASM and/or FASM (recent versions of each!) to build RetroForth.
NASM will build Linux versions (console, svgalib, libSDL) and FASM will build
both Linux and Windows versions (console only). To build the svgalib and
libSDL versions you'll also need GCC or TCC and the libraries. The build
process assumes a POSIX-like environment, so take that into account as well.

Please report any bugs by visiting http://forum.retroforth.org. I'll try to
fix them quickly. Feature requests are welcome too.
